Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by heating a large skillet over medium-high heat and adding a drizzle of avocado oil. Sear chicken thighs for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown, then set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add more avocado oil if necessary, then toss in chopped mushrooms and diced onion. Caramelize for about 7 minutes until golden.
  3. Add minced garlic and fresh thyme, stirring for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Pour in chicken broth and tamari, scraping the skillet to lift browned bits, and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk arrowroot starch with reserved broth and add to skillet, stirring until gravy thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Return seared chicken thighs to skillet, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes until cooked through, ensuring juices run clear.
